Hi! It will work in any kind of original beetle seats? I meam...I have a 73 brazilian 1500 beetle so t will work in my seats? Sorry but I dont know this recleners! Thanks! Cid.

Life savers these little fellas, mate of mine had them in an oval back about 1969, was forced head on into a rock wall by another car, the stearing wheel ended up right where his head should have been but the brackets allowed the seat to collapse backwards and he ended up in the layed back position that he intended for his girlfriend, saved his life I reckon.
Good luck with the sale.
